MAINE TROPHY MOOSE HUNTING

A Maine  trophy moose can be as large as 1000 pounds dressed weight with a rack  spread of between 45 and 60 inches! Maine moose hunts are in September and October in accordance with the IFW calendar. We offer three weeks of Moose Hunts. Each hunt begins on Sunday and ends on Saturday and is for two people, a primary and a back-up hunter.

You will need to apply for the annual Maine Moose Permit Lottery. You must submit an application between April 1 and May 15. You may find the information and application here: https://www.maine.gov/ifw/hunting-trapping/hunting/species/moose/moose-permit.html#howtoenter

Bradford Camps is in Zone 5, however, we can also be a base for zones 1, 2, 4, 6, and 10.

Before you arrive, our guides have been scouting for moose for weeks both on the ground and in the air and will continue to do so throughout the season. During your hunt your guide will call to the bulls. Calling is very effective in attracting trophy bulls that are looking for a mate. It is one of the most exciting hunts in the world when you hear a Maine bull moose grunting his way through the woods towards you!

Other ways to get a permit:

Some years Bradford Camps obtains a permit for sale. Please contact us early to see if we have acquired one for this year.  

State of Maine Auction - Ten auctioned hunts are offered by the State of Maine each year. The auction money goes towards a youth camp for underprivileged Maine residents.  The bid details are available online at the Maine DIFW website
